Can't wait for him to show up again.
I liked Daryl more and more as the episode went on. After he turned his crossbow on Rick, it seemed like he started to fit in. I also liked how he used Merle's hand on the prisoner.

^I was so shocked at the turn of events (I was expecting Merle or Jim to lose it, not what actually happened) and by the sudden, shocking gore and violence that I had trouble keeping track of what happened to whom. I saw Jim swinging the shovel but didn't see anything else happen to him.
Honestly, the show had hypnotized me into thinking that this stuff wouldn't go down 'til episode six! And actually, prior to this episode the only zombie-caused fatality we'd witnessed to this point was the horse. That really sharpened the impact of what happened tonight, IMO.
It's really quick, but it is definitely him. They show the shovel and then one comes and nails him on the shoulder. In the comic, IIRC, you don't even see it happen, just afterward.

Darryl is a hothead to be sure, and he and Rick will not be best buds anytime soon. I do think he's an asset to the group overall though. Personal issues aside. That was great...and the fact that Rick went along with it was awesome too.

At least three and a half that I saw. One woman gets blindside tackled at some point. Not sure who she was though.

The casting people deserve an emmy for this show. So many of the characters are cast perfectly...but Glenn and Jim are like they jumped off the page.

Great episode, i love the series as i did the comics. However, is it just me or does anyone else find the fact that you have a group of people who escape a nightmare to stay outdoors, no real protection and almost like they are camping. I guess i am old school but i find it ridiculous, you wouldnt stay outdoors and if you had to you would find something better then what they did. Up and away is my motto.

Yeah, for sheer lookalikes, you can't beat those two. But both actors bring a lot else to the table besides their looks.
Having just watched the ending sequence again, there's at least one man and another woman likely to have been fatalities. I think the man may have had a speaking part, though I keep confusing him with Morales (?). He's the one who got it on the shoulder, not Jim. I didn't see the woman get bitten, but she was dragged down. Didn't recognize her. Didn't see Jim get bitten.
We may have had more redshirt fatalities than the four or five, judging by the graves in the preview and the body piles on the ground (though many were zombies).

It wouldn't be my choice at ALL, but they did confirm previously that they are up in a mountainy-type area, which was why they were surprised a zombie had found them.
And I guess they are nearby a water and food supply (the lake).
And I can see some appeal of being out in the open (LOTS more escape routes when there's no walls)... but me, I'd def. want to be indoors.

Well, in their defense I'd say they're still learning the rules. While we have a wealth of zombie movies to draw from, they do not. (Darabont and Kirkman have referenced this in interviews.) As far as they knew, there was a relative lack of zombies out in the country compared to Atlanta and towns like Rick's. They're learning how most of us do: the hard way.
